CHIPS stands for Crofton Hammond Infant Parents and Staff – and is our PTA group.
CHIPS raises valuable funds which are used to buy much needed resources and equipment for the school. In past years we have bought interactive white boards for each classroom, replaced the gym equipment, helped to transform the outside play areas and replaced all the computers in the school.
Each year CHIPS hold various fundraising events which include school discos, cake sales, as well as a Christmas and a Summer Fair.
The currently elected officers are as follows:
• Chairs – Teresa Allison & Alice Osborne
• Secretary – Caroline Denyer
• Treasurers – Teresa Allison & Emma King
• Committee Members – Gemma Rolfe & Michelle Rick
• Second Hand Uniform Co-Ordinator – Katie Ryder
However, we also have many invaluable helpers who ensure that every event runs smoothly. Please do get in touch if you’d like to be involved. It’s a great group of people, lots of fun and it really does make a difference to our children’s school experience.
The last CHIPS meeting took place on Friday 12th May and here are the minutes of what was discussed at the meeting.
